Mumbai Indians finished the last season lurking at bottom of the points table with only four wins from 14 matches. The side, which is the most successful team in IPL history with five trophies in their cabinet, will aim to put their best foot forward against Royal Challengers Bangalore when the two sides clash at the M Chinnaswamy stadium on Sunday.
Without their ace bowler Jasprit Bumrah and Jhye Richardson who are ruled out for the entire season, their hopes will be pinned on Jofra Archer to fill the void and guide the other bowlers that the team management has marked out. Captain Rohit Sharma and the experienced Suryakumar Yadav will be the linchpins in the batting order, alongside youngsters Tilak Verma, Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs and Tim David for company. Opener Ishan Kishan will be expected to attain consistency with the bat as he is also the team`s earmarked wicketkeeper.
